I was shocked when I discovered I hadn't reviewed this despite writing many reviews, since it is one of my favorite comedies of all time. It may even rank as the funniest movie I've ever seen. It just has a ton... Full review

This is the level of humour you'll find throughout the movie. It's an ironic twist on the Western cliché with a story based on The Magnificent Seven. The recently out-of-work 3 Movie-Stars are unwittingly employed as bona-fide gun-slingers. They find themselves... Full review

Love it. Love it. Love it. This movie is jam-packed with hilarity. The story is good for an 80s comedy as well. Chase, Martin and Short are a power house as the 3 Amigos. And El Guapo has so many good... Full review

5 reasons to love this film: 1. The sight of Ned Nederlander (Martin Short) telling the incomprehensible, self-indulgent story of when he met Dorothy Gish ("you know, Lillian's sister") to a bunch of patient, albeit bored Mexican kids. 2. Lucky Day... Full review

This is an homage to many old comedies: Old jokes, Silent movie plot lines. It's like a Laurel and Hardy film that was never made. The movie is the joke. Much like Blazing Saddles or Young Frankenstein. I don't know why... Full review
Classic comedy, but not for all tastes.

The Three Amigos is one of those movies that can be hugely entertaining and amusing but only if you keep in mind that it is not a serious film. Chevy Chase, Martin Short, and Steve Martin, some of the funniest men... Full review

This is a funny movie and has some of the funniest actors in it. Chevy Chase, Martin Short and Steve Martin are brilliant in a movie that relies completely on their given talent - comedy. It's sad that not many movies... Full review

For the most part, the movie is very believable (as long as you can buy the fact somebody in the early 1900s could see a movie and believe the heroes in it really exist).....What I liked about this movie:....The film itself is great....What I didn't like about the movie :....you can make a funny film without resorting to a lot of bad language or sexual references..... ...

This movie is too confident, too relaxed, too clever to be really funny.
Although that wasn't a good movie
Chase hardly seems in the movie at all; he's given a few lines and some quizzical reaction shots and left idling in the background.

THREE AMIGOS is a likable comedy that "borrows" a key plot point from THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN .
No, they turn to the Three Amigos; three goofy silent film stars that play heroic gunfighters on the silver screen.
